You can choose your favorite flavor, whether it’s plain, herbed, or spicy. Just ensure they are fully cooked sausages, as we’ll be smothering them in a sauce. Sauce Options: We’ll be preparing a rich and savory sauce to smother the sausages. You can use a variety of options based on your taste preferences and what you have available. A classic option is an onion and mushroom gravy, but you can also try a tomato-based sauce, a beer-infused sauce, or even a tangy barbecue sauce. Get creative with the flavors! Mashed Potatoes: For the perfect creamy mashed potatoes, choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold. Peel and dice the potatoes before boiling them until tender. Drain well and mash them with butter, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until smooth and fluffy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed. Sausage Cooking: Before smothering the sausages, it’s best to give them a quick sear in a skillet. This will enhance their flavor and texture. Heat some oil in the skillet and cook the sausages over medium heat until they are nicely browned on all sides. This step adds extra deliciousness to the final dish. Vegetable Additions: While the classic recipe typically features sausages and mashed potatoes, feel free to add some cooked vegetables to make it a more well-rounded meal. Steamed or roasted green beans, peas, carrots, or sautéed spinach are excellent options. They add color, texture, and nutrients to the dish. Garnish Ideas: To add a pop of freshness and visual appeal, consider garnishing your dish. Chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or green onions work well. You can also sprinkle some grated cheese, crispy fried onions, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
